European People Analytics Software

#1 Crunchr

Amsterdam, Netherlands Not published; demo on request Demo on request

Best for: Enterprise HR teams that run Workday, SAP or Oracle and want one metrics layer across systems

• Operating company. Focus Orange Technology B.V. (trading as Crunchr)
• Jurisdiction. EU (Netherlands)
• Where the data sits. EU or US region, chosen by the customer
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Visier plus consultancy-built HR dashboards

Crunchr is the people analytics platform here that behaves most like an enterprise data project. The vendor lists 150+ pre-built sources, with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle Fusion HCM, UKG, BambooHR and HiBob among the HRIS connectors, and says 250+ metric definitions are included with the first release. A data engineer and a customer success manager are assigned from the start, and a customer quoted on the homepage describes a four-week sprint.

Focus Orange Technology B.V. trades as Crunchr from Amsterdam (KvK 61307068). Its founder, Dirk Jonker, began as an actuary at Towers Perrin and later founded the HR consultancy Focus Orange, which PwC acquired.

The homepage names Dura Vermeer, Booking and Cosun Beet Company as customers, as a vendor claim. The security page names a CISO and a DPO and reports a yearly SOC 2 Type 2 audit and penetration test. A Boston office exists, so the signing entity needs a check, and no price or founding year is published.

Standout feature. Crunchr lets the customer pick an EU or US hosting region, backed by a yearly external SOC 2 Type 2 audit.

#2 Ingentis

Nuremberg, Germany Not published; free demo on request Demo on request

Best for: Large employers that plan reorganisations and need span-of-control and headcount views

• Operating company. Ingentis Softwareentwicklung GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. Cloud or on-premise, region not stated
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Visier org analytics, Lucidchart-style org charts

Ingentis builds the analytics around the organisation chart. Its org.manager product combines charts, analytics boards for diversity, supervisors and HR trends, real-time dashboards for headcount, age distribution and span of control, and a what-if feature for restructurings and post-merger integration. SAP, Workday, Oracle and UKG connectors are named, and the company is an SAP Silver Partner.

The imprint of Ingentis Softwareentwicklung GmbH gives register court Nuremberg and number HRB 14491, and names two managing directors. On the about page the company claims 25+ years in business and over 2,000 customers in more than 50 countries (vendor claims). The imprint also lists US and UK subsidiaries. Hosting is cloud or on-premise with no cloud region named, and demos are free on request without a published price.

Standout feature. Ingentis states an on-premise installation, so its analytics can run on servers the customer owns.

#3 Cezanne HR

London, United Kingdom Founded 2013 Monthly subscription by modules and headcount; quote only Demo on request

Best for: Organisations of 50 to 3,000 employees that want analytics inside the HR system

• Operating company. Cezanne HR Limited
• Jurisdiction. UK, outside the EEA and covered by the EU adequacy decision
• Where the data sits. AWS European Union data centres
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Visier basic reporting, Workday reporting

Cezanne HR keeps analytics inside the HRIS. The Insights module accepts plain-English questions, such as where attrition risk is highest, over turnover, absence, workforce planning gaps, pay and diversity data. Core analytics and dashboards ship with the system, while the AI and advanced layer is the separate paid module. Pricing is a monthly subscription by modules and last month's average headcount, from 50 to 3,000 employees.

Cezanne HR Limited operates from Southwark Street in London, and the website terms are issued jointly with Cezanne HR Srl. According to its about page, the cloud HR system launched in 2013. The data security page states ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification by BSI (certificate IS 696606), Cyber Essentials and AWS European Union hosting. As a British entity it relies on the EU's adequacy decision for the UK, and the pricing page states no implementation or data upload fee.

Standout feature. Cezanne HR is the one tool where a buyer can ask the HR records a question in plain English.

#4 Sloneek

Kosice, Slovakia Quote or free trial; billed per active user Demo on request

Best for: SMBs and growing teams that want dashboards without a data team

• Operating company. Sloneek Europe s.r.o.
• Jurisdiction. EU (Slovakia)
• Where the data sits. Within the European Union per terms (section 5.4)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Visier light use cases, BambooHR reports

Sloneek is an HR system from Kosice with an analytics module as one of five product areas next to core HR, time management, performance and hiring. The analytics page lists prepared dashboards, a hybrid-teams view by job type and location, competence gap analysis, a period comparison of KPIs and export to spreadsheets. Everything is built from data inside Sloneek, and no external warehouse connector is described.

The privacy policy names Sloneek Europe s.r.o. (ID 53 319 737, Taborska 8, Kosice) as data controller and lists a DPO. The website also shows a London address. The terms state in section 5.4 that customer data stays within EU member states and in section 5.3 that it is not used to train AI models unless agreed. A 14-day trial needs no card and billing covers active users only, but amounts did not appear on the page we read.

Standout feature. Sloneek writes both EU-only data storage and a ban on AI training into its terms.

#5 PeopleForce

Best for: Mid-sized companies wanting HR suite reports at a published price

• Operating company. PeopleForce Ltd
• Jurisdiction. UK, outside the EEA and covered by the EU adequacy decision
• Where the data sits. Frankfurt, Germany
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Visier basic dashboards, BambooHR reporting

PeopleForce delivers reports as part of an HR suite. The analytics page describes a monthly headcount report, capacity reports for project resourcing, leave balances and eNPS surveys in one dashboard, with separate pages for recruiting and engagement analytics. The pages we read describe no forecasting or what-if modelling. Core HR costs $2.5 per employee per month (Standard) or $3 (Professional), with billing from 50 employees, in dollars.

PeopleForce Ltd has company number 12537808 in England and Wales and an office on John Street, London.

The terms list affiliates in Poland and Estonia and one LLC whose country is not stated, and let the customer choose the billing entity.

Standout feature. PeopleForce shows the per-employee price of the suite that contains its reports.

#6 Leapsome

Berlin, Germany Founded 2016 From $8/user/month Demo on request

Best for: Companies that want survey, goal and review data in one place

• Operating company. Leapsome GmbH
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Source code. Closed source

Leapsome analyses engagement, goals and reviews rather than headcount. According to its tool page, survey results are segmented by department, team, location and tenure, heatmaps show which engagement drivers score highest and lowest, and anonymity thresholds are configurable. Goal progress and pay equity dashboards sit in the same product, and feedback, goal and survey data are combined into one view for managers.

Two founders, Jenny von Podewils and Kajetan von Armansperg, started Leapsome GmbH in Berlin in 2016. The vendor claims more than 1,500 customer companies (Spotify, Unity, Monday.com, Babbel and Northvolt are named), ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and servers in Europe. A demo is on request, prices begin at $8 per user a month, and German employers get works council agreement templates.

Standout feature. Leapsome joins survey, goal and pay equity segments under the same team and tenure filters.

Its privacy policy lists each sub-processor with a location: Microsoft hosts and stores survey data in the EU (EEA) and MailJet sends invitations from the EU. No prices are published.

Standout feature. Effectory publishes a location for every data processor it uses.

• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Culture Amp, Qualtrics EmployeeXM

People Insight sells employee surveys either run by its own team (Managed) or by the customer (Unlimited), each at Core or Enterprise level.

#9 Personio

Munich, Germany Founded 2015 From €2.88/employee/month Demo on request

Best for: SMBs (10-2000 employees) seeking comprehensive HR solution

• Operating company. Personio SE & Co. KG
• Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
• Where the data sits. European Union (AWS Frankfurt)
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. BambooHR, Workday, ADP

Personio gives people analytics a home in the HR system of record. Per its tool page, it combines digital personnel files, absence management, time tracking, recruiting and payroll preparation, so the reports draw on one database of employee records. Payroll is prepared there, not executed, and a payroll provider stays in the stack.

Personio SE & Co. KG began in Munich in 2015. Its tool page cites 15,000+ customers (a vendor claim) and targets companies with 10 to 2,000 employees. Prices start at €2.88 per employee per month, and EU processing runs on AWS Frankfurt. Individual modules are less deep than dedicated specialists, and a group operating in many countries tends to stretch the all-in-one design.

Standout feature. Personio lists the lowest full-platform price in this category, from €2.88 per employee per month.

#10 TechWolf

Ghent, Belgium Founded 2018 Not published Demo on request

Best for: Enterprises on Workday, SAP or Oracle that need skills data for planning

• Operating company. TechWolf BV
• Jurisdiction. EU (Belgium)
• Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages read
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Visier skills and workforce planning views

TechWolf supplies skills data to planning teams. Its solution pages cover skill gap analysis, strategic workforce planning (skills supply and demand), internal mobility, targeted upskilling, AI transformation readiness and role redesign, and several are labelled coming soon. It states direct integrations with Workday's Skills Cloud, SAP SuccessFactors and Oracle HCM Dynamic Skills, and Crunchr's connector catalogue lists TechWolf as a source.

TechWolf BV is registered at Overzet 14B in Ghent and listed with the Crossroads Bank for Enterprises under 0702.852.201. The about page dates its founding to 2018, starting from helping students find jobs and moving to skill-based workforces. A Workday case study cites a 15% faster time-to-hire. No price, hosting region or certification is published, and the privacy policy read, last updated in January 2023, covers website visitors only.

Standout feature. TechWolf is the only tool here that produces skills supply and demand data instead of HR metrics.

#11 HiBob

Tel Aviv, Israel No published prices; quote via form Demo on request

Best for: HR teams already on Bob who want review cycles tied to their people data

• Operating company. Hi Bob Limited (Hi Bob Ltd.)
• Jurisdiction. Israel (outside the EU/EEA)
• Where the data sits. Not stated in the pages reviewed
• Source code. Closed source
• Replaces. Pave, Workday Compensation

HiBob qualifies here through its Compensation module, listed under Planning and Compensation in the Bob platform beside Workforce Planning. It runs customisable comp cycles, gives Finance real-time budget tracking with overrun visualisation, and models proposed increases against actual employee data and pay bands. Pay equity is monitored while decisions are made, and managers see performance data and compensation history in context.

Israel's privacy law is the frame in HiBob's privacy policy, which names Hi Bob Limited as operator and Hi Bob Ltd. as database controller, and that is why the tool counts as Israeli on this page. The page does not describe running the module without the HR system, and pricing sits behind a form that asks about team size and modules. The entity's jurisdiction is not stated on the pages reviewed and the benchmark source is not named.

Standout feature. HiBob builds guardrails into the manager's pay workflow so that out-of-band proposals are blocked before approval.
